Safety Tips

• Keep Cords out of reach of children

• Don’t leave children unsupervised near a corded blind or curtain.

• Check with the manufacturer / supplier to see if you can modify your blinds or curtains.

• If you have a vertical blind, install a cord tensioning device  ( available from hardware stores or curtain shops) which encloses the cord or chain loops.

• Wrap the cord around a cleat (available from hardware stores) attached to the wall near the top of the curtain or blind.

• Be aware that children can climb onto furniture and play with blind & curtain cords. Make sure that your child's cot, bed, highchair or playpen are not placed near a window where they can reach the curtains pr blind cords.

• Make sure the curtain and blind cords are not left hanging without the reach of children. The bottom of any cord should be at least 1600 mm above the floor.
